Notes
- If you are using smoked BBQ sauce, you can omit the liquid smoke in this recipe so it does not become overpowering.
- You can also cook the tempeh patties on a grill if you are making this as part of your backyard BBQ party. Just cook them in a foil packet instead of a pan.
- If you like to make it spicy, use a spicy BBQ sauce or add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or red chili flakes to the mix.
- Make this sandwich free of gluten by using gluten-free buns.
- Slap some Vegan Coleslaw instead of your usual burger toppings – it is an absolute match made in heaven!
